Boston for Orlando in 2001 Fantastic Flamingos of Fandom

Boston for Orlando in 2001 is (dubiously) pleased to present a contest to "Share the Wealth, Share the Fun." Magicon 2 wants you. And your flamingos.

Have you always lived in shame because of the yard flamingo you keep in back of your house where the neighbors might not see it?
Do you quickly hide your flamingo candle sticks when your tres chic society friends come to visit?
Do you shudder with trepidation when that tee-shirt proudly sporting a flamingo in a propeller beanie is the last piece of clean clothing in the house?
Does a party at your house mean you replace those fiery-pink-avian-laden sheets, towels and shower curtains with mundane muslin and white?

Fear not! You're not alone! We're worse, and we want to help.

During Bucconeer, the 56th World Science Fiction Convention, Magicon 2 will host the great flamingo round-up. Flock-up. Whatever.

Bring your flamingernalia; invite your inanimate pink buddies to share your airline berth; lovingly wrap those statuettes, salt and pepper shakers, soap dishes, tubular steel lawn ornaments, tuck them in your suitcase, and smile a secret smile when you board the plane.

Do you think your flamingo is the tackiest, sveltist, most fannish? If we agree and win our bid for Orlando in 2001, you (and your flamingo buddie) will receive a full, attending membership to the 2001 Worldcon. We'll only ask that you drop off your flamingo (with a label bearing your name and the flamingo's name) at our bid table and let us display it at our bid parties.

We'll give it back. In fact, we rather insist on that.

Are there rules? Well, yes.

No live ones, please.
- (No previously living ones, either -- even stuffed.)
Don't make one out of pink marshmallow fluff unless you're prepared to watch it get eaten.

Any additional rules and information can be found at the Fantastic Flamingos of Fandom World-Wide Web Site (http://www.noreascon.org/b2001).

Pink flamingos
in a flock --
Don't they give ya
fuchsia shock?
